The WaveGuide Sensor
The WaveGuide radar can be positioned at any suitable mounting location with free space to the water. It is
advised to choose a position such that the radar beam is free from large reflecting obstacles (beam width F08
antenna 5 deg half top angle). This does not only includes horizontal objects in the beam , such as ducts, but also
vertical structures as bridge pillars, quay walls, legs of an oil rig, etc. It is recommended to mount the WaveGuide
at a minimum distance of 0,1x the height of the pole or qua wall.
The sensor has four mounting holes (
Ø
11mm) in the top flange and lid equally distributed at a circle of 240mm
To facilitate the mounting, a mounting plate and a rail
mounting are available.
Reference level for the measured distance to the water
surface is the bottom side of the sensor unit.
